You may remember my play opened tonight.

You could tell in the room a masterpiece was being unfurled.

Until the lead actor had the most massive dry in the history of theater.

He didn't just forget his lines. He forgot his lines to the extent that no actor has ever forgotten their lines before in the annals of dramatic art.

I'll see what I can do.

We sat in total silence for half an hour waiting for a moron to remember one single line.

How's it going with the lines?

Fuck off out of here!

I have lived many weary years.

But never in that long catalogue of wasted time have I ever seen such an atrocious miscarriage of justice!

Two girls in earlier tonight. One of them, the prettiest girl in the world! Did you get their names?

Oh, that's okay. That's fine. It's brilliant. It's just the end of my life. Thanks so much.
